<div class="IPBDescription">Could ya, should ya would ya?</div> I was wondering if it is possible to toggle animated textures on and off. Lets say you have a screen that starts with +A~whatever, then when triggered it goes to +0~whatever, +1~whatever..etc etc..
Anyone ever tried this? Or is it simply not possible withthe way HL hadnels animatted textures?

thats simple.
A button with the trigger dont_move flags. (toggled by pushing and by another trigger)
or
func_wall_toggle
like its used in one RR to show a map overview.

Heh, you misunderstood what I was asking...
I was simply refering to the texture part of the equation..not the entities.
I have never heard of animated textures being able to be turned on or off...I just wanted to know if the engine could handle that.

So, can the engine handle a togglable texture that one of its states is animated(not the entities)?

I do not think so. Time for env_Render...

Animated textures cannot be set to change like this if there are more than 2 frames. (If there's only 2 frames, make it a func_wall_toggle)

well, i HAVE heard of, but not tested, that you can do the following:
you know the first 2.

2 texture switch =
+0 and +A

animated and OFF=
+0 +1 +2 +3 ect. and +A for the off.

these are the ones i have been told also work:

2 animated=
+0 +1 +2 +3 ect. and +A +B +C +D.... for the second animation series. note, texture mem heavy for sure! untested

"anti" animation=
+0 for the off, and +A +B +C +D.... for the second animation series.untested

(remember all texture animation is heavt on texture limmits, which are only 4MB for an official map!)
